Standing Fatigue Solutions

Standing Fatigue Solutions is a new data sheet published by international matting manufacturer Plastic Extruders Ltd (Plastex).

This is a visual guide to solving the problem of standing fatigue which, according to Government statistics, affects the physical health over 11 million people in the UK. Prolonged standing at work has proved to be the cause of progressive bone damage, varicose veins, poor circulation and water retention as well as back problems.

The problem is particularly severe in working environments, such as manufacturing plants and workshops, where employees may have to stand in one position or move within restricted areas. Anti-fatigue precautions are also necessary in public service industries, where employees stand at information points, counters and cash-desks for long periods of time.

For example, the company recently fulfilled a large export order for Zed Land anti-fatigue matting to relieve hard floor working conditions in a European munitions factory and depot. This particular matting solution was specified not only because of its superior comfort and bounce underfoot but also because it is specially designed for standing in static sensitive environments.

The ideal anti-fatigue matting offers important health advantages, such as comfort underfoot, good slip resistance and thermal protection from cold floors. To provide these benefits, Plastex offers a wide range of different anti-fatigue mattings suitable for different installations.

Standing Fatigue Solutions spotlights a variety of applications where people will benefit from using anti-fatigue matting and shows how various companies have solved the problem. It is available, together with matting samples, from Plastic Extruders:
